JEFX Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Some of the novelties in this great patch are deep with immersion signification. I am quite amazed at the quality of this patch! I think that visual impression, for example, is a question of balance between several elements and some of them are finally working together to make the impression so realistic and immersive ! Lighting coherence: For example, the airport lights are finally fixed! Before, they looked like round blue balloons (and even sometime they did look like two dimensional drawings on paper..) and one could see them from way too far. Now they look great and realistic, you don’t see them from so far away and the white lights, the blue taxi lights, the red and white landing lights, etc, they all make a whole that is fantastic, especially added to the fact that the nights are now darker and more realistic! When you put together the better airport lights, the darker nights, the beautiful and varied aircraft lights and the now very convincing town and city lights, the whole visuals at night is great and much more balanced! Weather coherence: The same thing goes with the now fantastic balance between the new changing cirrus clouds, the normal clouds and the fog. Seen from Angels 20, with the cirrus above (and they can be very different from one part of the map to another, and sometime disappear completely…), the nice clouds below and the ground that disappear in the distance because of fog, the landscape is fantastic! Waves, ships and shadows: More immersive eye candy: the recently introduced pitching and rolling ships that can now have helos take off and land on, make for a very beautiful sea landscape with waves (especially with a bit of fog). Of course, one of the most beautiful innovations of this patch is the new Tree shadows, which makes the whole map and landscape much more realistic looking! (together with the cockpit shadows introduced a bit earlier…) Working ATC indications: Finally, the ATC indications make sense and the QFE is right, which makes the landing altimeter procedure correct. For me that is great (despite the fact that ATC is still very limited, not very talkative…). Little details that count: Have you noticed the new data/info box in the F10 map (I don’t recall that it was announced in the release notes?). It is very well done. And the propellers of the E-2 finally work! And this is just my impressions of some eye candy of the first flight I did with the patch! THANKS ED, this is a great patch, with solid performance (almost increase) and installed totally hassle free on top of my 1009.

Thanks ED! Are the PAPI lights fixed, too? Haven't checked them yet. Supersheep Edited November 12, 2011 by Supersheep Bad grammar The PVC Pipe Joystick Stand How to thread

Evil.Bonsai Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 One thing I found odd, since only 'cirrus' clouds move, was that while flying yankee base mission, there was a big, low, fluffy cloud that MOVED across the top of the base's mountain, just as you would expect a cloud to do. It looked really cool! Wasn't expecting that since it was a cumulus cloud and not cirrus.

From what i've seen though its a fantastic improvement. Must do a night flight, got to see the new lighting. Well done ED :) ps. Suggestions for getting my monitor back for more than 1-2 hours a day please :helpsmilie: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee Muhammad Ali-(Cassius Clay) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Scan.... Ebuyer??? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Caspet Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) If I could afford it I would send him to boarding school. But then again 3x 24" HD monitors, triple head, new graphics card and trackir5 to replace my 4 would be cheeper..... Mmmmm:music_whistling: Sorry JEFX, off topic.

LostOblivion Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 The new random radio effects added to the start and end of transmissions added very much to the immersion on my end. The edited animation and sounds effects for the canopy is also very good. Good Georgian voice overs for self when talking to ATC flying Georgian Ka-50s. I'm not sure if this voice over applies to all other allied Ka-50 pilots, but for a Georgian pilot it works great. Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW

JEFX Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 One negative point: it is said in the release notes that : Train Tunnel entrances are correctly textured now It is not true, many are missing and even worse than in LOMAC... I use to love one particular tunnel north of SOCHI, west of HOSTA where trucks would drive out of the tunnel and engage on this great long bridge (great targets...) well, the tunnel entrance is gone on both sides of the mountain... what is wrong???

rss0900 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Wow is all I can say, been flying since Beta and this is like a new game. Simply amazing, DCS has my continued support. I don't know specifically what's changed to increased the visuals but I sure do like it. THe FPS is better too, never had issues with all settings on high, but it's even more smooth now.

Can you grab a screenshot + co-ordinates, or even better a short track ?
BrumTx Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 As a Fire Fighter up until a few weeks ago I was especially impressed with the new HEMTT – TFFT, hoses neatly laid and the hose gun even looks well detailed. Ladders and hooks look great. Maybe a couple more monitors on board and the FF’s in the middle cab in gear but that’s just me being pedantic. Well done ED I’d actually feel safe now lol Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11....... Selective memory is a wonderful thing, especially when certain posts simply disappear into the ether never to be seen again, unless I have a copy of the original post copied and pasted into word documents and saved .... just in case :) Am I an abusive idiot ?
